Arsenal superstar will be ‘more appreciated’ at Tottenham says Garth Crooks
BBC pundit Garth Crooks has urged Mesut Ozil to leave Arsenal for Tottenham.
Crooks revealed that he is a massive fan of the Germany international. However, Crooks feel’s that he is under-appreciated at the Gunners.
The BBC pundit went onto state that Ozil’s style would be a perfect fit for Tottenham.
“A lot has been said about Mesut Ozil. Love him or hate him – and I love him – there is no denying he is a wonderful footballer,” Crooks told the BBC.
“Is he in the right team? Probably not. A player with his talent would be more appreciated at a club like Tottenham.
“Now at this moment I may have Arsenal fans foaming at the mouth at the very thought of Ozil defecting to White Hart Lane but frankly it is a better fit.
“When Sol Campbell decided to move to Arsenal from Spurs it was because the player was desperate to win trophies.
“A perfectly acceptable position for a professional footballer to take and a fact that Spurs fans have never been able to come to terms with.
“However, Ozil’s style of football is perfect for Spurs and he has already won things with Arsenal.”
Garth Crooks also included Ozil in his Premier League team of the week.
If Ozil was to make the move from Arsenal to Tottenham it would certainly cause uproar in north London. Sol Campbell was the last player to move between the two rivals.
Ozil was one of the stars of the show during Arsenal’s win over Stoke City. The Gunners registered a 4-1 victory over the Potters to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
The 28-year-old has 12 goals and 12 assists to his name after 40 appearances for Arsenal this term. The north London-based club take on Sunderland tomorrow evening at the Emirates.
